Pizza and a T-Shirt in the Entrepreneurial Spirit

by Mike Hunter

A collaboration between Tempe-based Spinato’s and Chandler-based apparel company State Forty Eight brings us a special pizza and a limited-edition T-shirt, supporting a campaign running through May 31 at all six Spinato’s locations in Tempe, Scottsdale, Phoenix, Ahwatukee and Gilbert.

The exclusive State Forty Eight Pizza blends Spinato’s signature handcrafted flavors with bold Southwestern flair. This zesty Southwest Margarita pizza is created with olive oil, mozzarella, Pico de Gallo, feta, lime crema, cotija and cilantro. The special pizza is being paired with The Phoenix, an orange blossom margarita that is a nod to the historic citrus groves that once thrived in the Valley. The bright, citrusy notes cut through the richness of the pizza’s feta, bringing a delicate sweetness that perfectly complements every bite.

The limited-edition State Forty Eight/Spinato’s T-shirt ($30) captures the essence of Arizona’s breathtaking landscape while also paying tribute to Hayden Flour Mills, a staple in our community.

A portion of the proceeds from pizza, margaritas, T-shirts and stickers goes to the State Forty Eight Foundation. “We are big fans of State Forty Eight and we jumped at the chance to collaborate with them on a pizza to raise funds for their foundation,” said Anthony Spinato, CEO of Spinato’s Pizzeria & Family Kitchen. “Mike Spangenberg and his State Forty Eight team do tremendous work supporting small businesses and startups. We admire their innovation and commitment to strengthening our community, and we’re excited that our guests can help support their efforts as well.”
